Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction / InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The Kawaridane ❯ Training Reflections, New Developments ( Chapter 5 )

AN: Sorry for the late update. Halloween really kicked my ass. Story is finally starting to go somewhere I know, It'll all make sense soon enough. Sadly I don't own IY or YYH.

 

 

Ayako stared at the sky. `What day is it today?' She pondered to herself, sighing. It seemed like years had passed since her training began. In reality it was only three weeks.

She looked around her hoping Genkai hadn't found her yet. She really needed a breather from training with Hiei. Her body was betraying her at every chance it got! She had been training with him the most which did absolutely nothing for her sanity. Like on the sixth…or seventh day they'd been working together…

 

“Onna! Pay attention to your surroundings or you'll lose that pretty little head of yours!” Hiei shouted at her.

His words definitely did not have the desired effect of her paying attention because she was instantly replaying the fact that she had a “pretty little head…”, and it cost her a nasty slice on the shoulder, tearing her only clean training suit from her shoulder to the middle of her ribs on her left side.

“Ah…” she winced, “Gomen Hiei, that was my own fault…” Ayako looked up and saw Hiei staring at her intently.

She followed his gaze to her side and saw a generous amount of skin, (and a bit of side boob) poking out from her training suit. Before she could do anything Hiei was at her side inspecting her wound. The feel of his rough hands on her skin sent shivers to the tips of her toes.

She swallowed hard and looked up to meet his gaze.

“You should go see Keiko and get that patched up; we still have a few hours of training to do…” He said huskily.

All she could do was nod and hurry off to find Keiko to quickly get her to stitch up her torn suit. When Ayako reached her Keiko's eyebrows raised almost to her hairline, hearing Ayako's stammered story and observing her incredibly red face.

 

The rest of that day went without much incident. Hiei didn't mention the fact that he could probably smell the arousal falling off her in waves and Ayako tried hard to concentrate only on her body, her sword and her movements.

Training with everyone else was fun. Especially Kurama. Although that was also an interesting day.

 

“Don't let your guard down Ayako!” She heard him shout from behind her to the left and she barely dodged the roundhouse kick that would have likely knocked her unconscious. She took advantage of his position and swung her right leg back and around to catch him off guard but he anticipated her movements and quickly twisted his upper body and grabbed hold of her ankle and flung her body against the nearest tree.

She slid to the base as stars exploded in her vision.

When her vision cleared she saw a very interesting sight.

Hiei had Kurama pinned to the ground and had his sword pointed dangerously close to his Carotid artery and she could hear them talking in low, heated voices.

She couldn't quite make out what was being said but she heard her own name, so she tried to get to her feet so she could get closer to the intriguing conversation the Hybrid and the Kitsune were having. She stumbled closer and heard bits of the conversation.

“Hiei are you so naïve to think that an enemy is going to go easy on her because of her size and sex?”Kurama practically shouted.

“Hn…” was the only reply as Hiei snapped his head up and saw her walking slowly towards them. His eyes softened momentarily as he seemed to assess her condition and then in a blur he was gone again.

Kurama stood up and brushed himself off. Ayako was dying to ask what was said but Kurama cut her off.

“Ready to continue?”

She bit her bottom lip and nodded.

 

She came out of her day dream to see someone walking towards her. She squinted as the sun was in her eyes and shielded her eyes. He didn't come into focus until he was nearly on top of her.

“Hi.” She said, rather brightly.

He continued to stare at her for a second, then took a seat next to her with his back against the tree. Her heart almost stopped in her chest, and then it began hammering so hard she was sure he could hear it.

He remained silent and Ayako started fidgeting horribly. She hated how …silent he was!

“So… Oh! Do you know what day it is by chance?” She said cheerfully trying to break the silence with something she actually did want to know.

“Hn. It is Sunday.” he replied evenly.

“Yeah but what's the date?” she pressed.

“The second of December.” he sighed.

“ARE you SERIOUS!?!” She shouted.

Hiei actually looked startled, and then his mask of indifference fell back into place. “Why would I lie about such a trivial thing?”

“Oh shit…” Ayako said and looked at the ground.

“Why does the date matter onna?” he looked at her curiously.

“Well my birthday is on Wednesday, the fifth.” She replied slowly knowing he would think her outburst extremely silly.

He surprised her when all he said was “Hn.”

Hiei got to his feet quickly “Onna, you have evaded me for a good hour. Let's get back to training.”

Ayako sighed as she got to her feet, and followed him back to their spot in the eastern forest.

**********

She stood opposite him. The both bowed to one another and then settled into their sparring stance. Left foot forward, weight on her right, sword held upright in both hands directly in front of her body.

“Let's go through all the strikes and parries first slowly then we will spar. I will not go easy on you today. We have trained for long enough I believe you are ready for true sparring.” Hiei said evenly, and Ayako nodded her ascent, a slight blush rising to her cheeks at the sideline compliment.

Hiei swung his sword around from the right and Ayako raised her arms up with the point of her sword to the ground to parry. She followed through to her right as he spun to attack from the opposite side. She spun faster and stepped towards him with her right foot blocking his attack, her sword pointed to the left.

Ayako felt like she was dancing as he swung and she parried, as she thrust and he pushed it aside. Eventually they went through the routine they had been practising for the last three weeks and they were back in their ready stance, Ayako panting slightly.

“Alright. Let's do this.” He said and leapt at her.

She almost lost her balance as she quickly brought her sword up and deflected his blade and his body to the side. It seemed he hadn't expected her to react and as his weight was off balance she thrust hard for the opening which he barely dodged. She stood back readying herself for his next strike, and then he did something completely unexpected.

He looked at the side she almost impaled and observed a small slice through his cloak. He threw it to the ground and they could see she had nicked him, and a small trail of blood was leaking out of the wound.

He turned his head towards her his eyes flashing red as a small grin fell across his face.

She smirked back at him as she felt her body heat up under his intense gaze. Then he disappeared.

She sensed his energy to her right and leapt backwards but not before a long shallow gash was made in the belly of her training suit.

She watched him settle to his ready stance about ten feet away. She quirked an eyebrow at him and he grinned. `He actually grinned! Holy crap! Ok so that's how we're gonna play…'

She brought her holy powers to the surface and “flash stepped” to quickly get to his right side. He blocked her first swing that would have taken a good chunk of his left thigh but she threw him off balance by letting go of her sword with her right arm and swung an elbow up towards his face.

That was a mistake.

His reaction time was impeccable and he grabbed her right wrist and struck her left wrist with his other hand. In less than a second she had dropped her sword and she found herself pinned face first against the nearest tree with her right arm twisted uncomfortably behind her back.

Hiei's entire body was pressed into hers as she tried to struggle out of his grasp. She could feel his powerful abdomen and thighs as they pressed her hard against the trunk.

Suddenly she was being whipped around to face him, his left hand holding the sword to her throat. She looked into his face which was distractingly close to her own. She looked at his face and his eyes seemed to burn into hers. Her eyes drifted to his lips and she observed that they were slightly parted as he panted. Taking in ragged and shallow breaths.

She found that she was having trouble breathing herself. He leaned towards her and spoke softly in her ear, his breath on her neck sending shivers down her spine and making her entire body weak.

“I thought I told you to keep both hands on your sword, at all times…”

She swallowed hard, and looked at his eyes as he pulled away to watch her reaction.

Ayako felt her knees start to give but the problem was soon solved as she found he had dropped his own sword and had her firmly pressed up against the tree his left hand holding both her arms above her head and his left thigh in between her own.

“I… thought I'd improvise.” She replied, astonished that she managed to sound so calm.

She was getting very, very wet.

He brought his right hand up and settled it on her hip as he brought his leg up and lifted her off the ground.

Ayako gasped as a shot of hot pleasure flew from the junction of her thighs to settle in the pit of her stomach.

“How do you do this to me…” he asked shakily as he brought his mouth closer and closer to hers.

Ayako's eyes rolled into the back of her head as she felt his tongue run up the side of her neck and shivered when he lightly nibbled on her ear with his fangs.

Her thoughts could no longer string together a coherent response so she simply moaned softly as he kissed her neck, her ear, her collarbone.

“Hiei…” his name managed to escape her lips and she felt him tense his hold on her.

“Am I interrupting?”

`SHIT!!' Ayako almost fell down as Hiei practically leapt away from her and her feet met solid ground once again.

Genkai was standing at the far edge of the clearing smirking to herself and Ayako felt like she'd really like to learn how to sink into trees.

“What do you want?” Hiei snapped. “We were training you old hag, so if it's not important I suggest you go take your knowing smirks elsewhere.”

Ayako looked at him surprised. `Knowing? What the hell?'

Genkai shook her head. “We just got information that the Karyuudo are on the move, and they are close by. Everyone is moving out to stop them, including you two love birds.”

Ayako almost choked on her tongue.

“Everyone is gathering in the main house to receive instructions, then you will all be sent out on two man teams to travel quicker and kill silently.” Genkai looked at her daughter.

“Ayako I suggested you get a different garment. That one appears to be torn.”

Ayako blushed even more knowing what her adopted mother was thinking and hurried off to the compound without a word.

`What the hell just happened back there?' Was her last thought as her body fell into business mode.
